The Corralitas Red Car Property was a private right-of-way through Silver Lake (Los Angeles) for the Pacific Electric interurban streetcar. The “Big Red Cars” ran until 1955 when the Glendale Line was decommissioned for freeway construction. For almost 40 years, a series of developers tried and failed to develop the Corralitas Red Car Property. It's not a park, it just looks like one.

Photos: Red Car Property Neighbor, November 30, 2013. Dumping called into 311 without an address frequently festers on Riverside Drive near Allesandro Elementary School because there is no address to attach to it when you make a request by phone. The neighbor who submitted the request says the trash has been there for a couple of weeks. (Click on photos to enlarge.)

I've found the most effective way to get the dumping picked up is to SUMBIT PHOTOS and a detailed account of its whereabouts on the on-line form on the City's website. Yes it's more time consuming, but it does seem to work better.
